CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Italian Utility Model ApplicationMI2009U000396, filed Dec. 3, 2009, the entirety of which is incorporatedherein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a lip marker with lip gloss applicator.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Lip liners are known, usually under the name “marker”, comprising asmall tip and a sponge soaked in coloured ink in which the aforesaid tipdraws.

If, as is however often wanted, the ink has a no-transfer formula, itsapplication on the lips and the lips themselves tend to dry withconsequential bother to the person who receives it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the present invention to make a lip marker whichpermits to overcome the aforesaid drawback.

In accordance with the invention such an object is achieved with a lipmarker comprising an elongated body which accommodates a sponge soakedin coloured ink and an applicator tip arranged at an end of saidelongated body in contact with said ink, characterized in that itcomprises a lip gloss applicator arranged at the end opposite to saidelongated body.

The lip gloss or “gloss” may be in solid or “stick” form or in fluid or“bottle” form.

In both cases the application of the lip gloss allows a pleasant softeffect and also shiny lips to be obtained.

The marker according to the present invention is shown in the twoversions—stick and bottle—in the accompany drawings, with reference towhich it will be described herein in detail by way of example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIGS. 1-4 refer to a marker according to the invention with lip glossapplicator in stick version.

The marker comprises an elongated body 1 equipped with an innercylindrical cavity 2 in which is accommodated a sponge 3 soaked in acoloured ink for lips, in particular of no-transfer type.

Drawing in the sponge 3, and therefore in the ink in which it is soaked,is a single-piece tip 4, which comes out of an end of the elongated body1 and is accommodated within a removable protective insert 5, in turncovered by a removable closing cap 6.

Inserted in the other end of the elongated body 1 is a support 7 for alip gloss or gloss 8 in shape of solid bar or stick, on which aprotective cap 9 fixed to the body 1 is removably arranged.

By removing the cap 6 and the insert, 5 the tip 4 is usable as inkapplicator. By successively removing the cap 9, the stick 8 is usable aslip gloss applicator.

FIGS. 5-8 in turn refer to a marker according to the invention with lipgloss applicator in bottle version.

The marker again comprises an elongated body 1 equipped with an innercylindrical cavity 2 in which is accommodated a sponge 3 soaked in acoloured ink for lips, in particular of no-transfer type.

Drawing in the sponge 3, and therefore in the liquid in which it issoaked, is a single-piece tip 4, which comes out of an end of theelongated body 1 and is accommodated within a removable protectiveinsert 5, in turn covered by a removable closing cap 6.

Inserted in the other end of the elongated body 1 and release-blocked bymeans of a groove and protrusion coupling 10 is a support 11 for asponge or “flock” applicator 12 which, by means of a cleaning sleeve or“wiper” 13, draws in a bottle 14 containing a lip gloss fluid.

A diaphragm 15 is interposed between the sponge 3 and the support 11within the elongated body 1.

By removing the cap 6 and the insert 5 the tip 4 is usable as inkapplicator. By successively sliding the applicator 12 from the bottle 14and from the cleaning sleeve 13, it is possible to perform theapplication of the fluid lip gloss.

1. A lip marker comprising: an elongated body which accommodates asponge soaked in coloured ink; an applicator tip arranged at an end ofsaid elongated body in contact with said ink; and a lip gloss applicatorarranged at the end opposite to said elongated body.
 2. A markeraccording to claim 1, wherein said lip gloss applicator is made in solidbar form fixed to a support accommodated in said elongated body.
 3. Amarker according to claim 2, wherein said solid bar is accommodatedwithin a removable protective cap.
 4. A marker according to claim 1,wherein said lip gloss applicator is made in sponge or flock form and isfixed to a support accommodated in said elongated body and soaked in alip gloss fluid contained in a bottle removably fixed to said other endof the elongated body.
